Female Celebrity Imagines | (Girl x Girl)

Confession - Tobin Heath (USWNT)

"I'm gonna tell you something that I have wanted to for the longest time, but you have to promise not to freak out, okay?" I asked my best friend of 18 years, Tobin Heath. She was looking out at the scenery in front of us. We were sitting on our favorite cliff, overlooking the glowing city below. It looked like something out of a movie and I never got tired of admiring it. Maybe that's why we would always hang out here on summer nights, just talking about everything and nothing, whatever was on our minds.

"Okay." She said simply, still looking off into the distance. We have been friends for all of our 18 years of living and I was about to tell her a life changing secret. But, there she was, only halfway paying attention.

"Tobin." I stated, glaring at the side of her head. She eventually turned to look at me, her expression immediately turning more concerned.

"I know it's serious when you call me that." She said, causing us both to laugh a little. I always called her 'Tobs' or, my favorite, 'Toby'.

"So, you promise you won't freak out or laugh?" I repeated, wanting to get her word, because I know she most likely will freak out after what I'm about to tell her.

"Yes, I promise! Now, tell me." She stated impatiently and I just nodded, taking a deep breath to calm myself.

"I thought I would never admit to you what I'm about to say, like, ever. Really, I was planning on keeping this secret with me all the way to my grave. But, tonight is different." I started and Tobin seemed to be growing more confused with every word that left my mouth. "Since this marks the last day of summer and we both go off to completely different colleges tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't have many more opportunities to admit this." I stopped for a moment to prepare myself for, what could possibly be, the most important and maybe even life changing sentence I have ever spoken in my life. I looked up into my best friend's eyes and cleared my mind of any doubts, letting the next words flow freely from my heart.

"I love you, Tobin Heath. No, I'm in love with you and I have been since we were ten years old. And, I realize that this probably feels like it's all coming out of nowhere, but, I promise you, I am not making this up. God, there's no way I could. I hate how much I love you. You're my best friend, I'm not supposed to look at your or think about you the way I do. But, I can't help it. I can't help the fact that I'm helplessly in love with your smile and your laugh and your voice and how your mind works and the way care for others before yourself and how passionate you are about the things you love and how you put your all into everything you do and how you don't care what other people think of you. You're inspiring, you're intelligent, you're beautiful, you're hilarious, and I could go on and on. But, the most important thing is that you're so unapologetically you. And that's why I love you so much." I had looked away about halfway through because I was too afraid to see her reaction. I know I was just rambling and none of it probably made sense, but I just had to get it off my chest.

It was quiet for a moment, the distant sounds from the city below being the only source of noise. And then, after a few minutes of Tobin sinking it all in, I heard movement. Before I could look over at my best friend, she had already grabbed the side of face and brought her lips to mine. I was in shock at first, but I soon kissed her back. Her lips were so soft and warm, but her kiss was powerful. It made me feel weak, but excited at the same time. My whole body felt tingly and my brain felt foggy. The feeling of her lips being the only thing on my mind.

We pulled back after a few seconds and, even though the kiss felt like it lasted forever, it was over much too soon for my liking. Our faces remained a few inches apart, her forehead leaning onto mine, and I could feel my heartbeat in my chest. Each beat was so heavy, it was almost painful, but I lived for the feeling.

We let the feeling sink in for another minute or so and then she leaned back slightly, causing me to open my eyes. Her hazel ones were looking right back at me like I was the only person in the entire world and it made my heart skip a beat. I didn't think it was possible for me to love her anymore than I already did, but the way she was looking at me right now definitely changed my mind.

"I don't understand how you could ever think that I would freak out or run away or laugh at any of that." She reached up to brush her thumb against my cheek and I could see her eyes start to turn glassy. "I have never had anyone in the world say anything like that to me, ever and I don't see how someone like you could see that much in someone like me. Because, I think you're incredible. I know I'm not near as good at expressing myself in words like you are, but I feel the same way about you. There's not enough time in the world to describe all the amazing things about you, and honestly, I'd really rather be kissing you right now. But, just know that I love you, too. So much. I seriously can't believe that you feel the same because I've liked you for just as long and it really is a relief to hear you finally admit it." She finished and I laughed a little at her kissing comment, making her smile at me.

Now, it was my turn to return the favor. I leaned in once again, meeting my lips to her smile. The second kiss was, somehow, even better than the first and I felt my heart pounding in my chest. I continued to feel butterflies in my stomach, confirming that I really did love this girl deeply and helplessly. She had my whole heart in the palm of her hand and I trusted her with it. It was exhilarating and terrifying, all at once, that this one person controlled my feelings entirely. But, I loved her and she loved me and that's all that mattered in this moment.

We pulled away for air and she told me to lay down. So I laid back on the blanket we had placed over the grass. She followed my movements, her hand never leaving my face. She settled herself in between my legs and barely gave me enough time to get situated before she was kissing me again. This time the kiss was different, more aggressive and passionate. She moved her lips against mine and pulled back, kissing me quickly over and over, almost like she was desperate to get as many kisses in as possible. It was making me dizzy, so I reached up and put my hands on her neck, pushing her back lightly.

She immediately stopped what she was doing and looked down at me, most likely afraid she was doing something wrong. "Slow down, Toby. No need to rush things." I moved my hand to her cheek and used my fingers to trace her square jawline.

"Sorry, I just really like kissing you and I-" I placed my thumb on her bottom lip, cutting her rambling off. It was cute, but I'd really rather be kissing her.

"Let me try something." I suggested and she just stared down at me like a doe in lovestruck headlights. She leaned down when I gently tugged on her neck and I took my finger away from her lip. Our noses were touching and I tilted my head to the right in order to kiss her. My lips met hers and I kissed her deeply and passionately, moving as slow as I possibly could. Her lips melted into mine and she seemed to be in some sort of trance from the way I was kissing her. Our lips moved in a slow rhythm together and it succeeded in making the butterflies in my stomach go crazy again. The kiss was longer than the previous ones and I could tell we were both enjoying it much more.

We ended up reluctantly pulling away and she lowered her body onto mine, allowing me to feel her heartbeat. It was pound just as quickly as mine and I wondered if I had the same affect on her that she did on me. Her arms rested underneath mine and she laid her face in the crook of my neck, panting for air. I used one of my hands to comb my fingers through her hair as we both regained our breaths. As I laid there with Tobin on top of me, I looked up at the stars above, just feeling content in this moment. I didn't ever want this night to end.

"I love you so much." She said and held herself up with her arms, hovering over me. I grinned up at her as she looked down at me and, looking into her eyes, I decided that I liked this view better than the stars in the night sky.

"I love you more." I said and she frowned, making me smirk at her.

"Oh, don't even get me started." We both laughed and then eventually ended up kissing again. I knew we weren't getting any sleep tonight, since it was our last night together, but I didn't want to think about that. Instead, the rest of the night I spent focused on the girl right in front of me.
